Resumo:
This paper shows, briefly, Smith’s, Ricardo’s, Marx’s and marginalists philosophical bases. Through some exposures of the implication in the use of certain methodology, we try to demonstrate the relation between the methodological choice and the conclusions about the State. In the end, we conclude that marginalist degeneration, and the incomprehension of Marx’s and Ricardo’s method, lead to the presence of metaphysical conceptions of the State in economical ciences.
